What really makes me angry, is that not one penny of government money goes to the Nixon library because he resigned in disgrace! Clinton has no right to government money for his library, if the Nixon library doesn't get a penny. Where are all the lilly livered Republicans?

Hillary in Senate Screamfest New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blew a gasket during a closed door Senate meeting yesterday, reportedly "shouting" at campaign finance reform crusader Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis. - in an embarrassing scene that broke all rules of Senate collegiality and decorum. Clinton failed to suppress her notorious temper after Democratic Party campaign lawyer Bob Bauer warned senators that the kind fund-raising tactics employed by her husband could send her and her colleagues to jail under the recently passed McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law. When Sen. Feingold dismissed the legal concerns, the short-fused former first lady to boiled over. "Russ, live in the real world," a tight-faced Clinton screamed at the campaign finance advocate, sources told the New York Daily News. "They will be all over you like a June bug," she angrily warned. "I also live in the real world, Senator, and I function quite well in it," Feingold shot back. Still, Clinton predicted a deluge of politically motivated investigations unless Senators were careful about how they implemented the McCain-Feingold law. When Feingold complained that such concerns were "not rational," the former first lady "hammered him," the News said. Clinton said the new campaign finance law, which she voted for, had the potential to allow "political adversaries" to make senators' lives hell. She reportedly cited her own experience as first lady, complaining that her own enemies did much the same thing. "Yesterday's outburst appeared to be Clinton's first big blow up with a colleague in such a meeting," the News said. But Mrs. Clinton's Senate meltdown is just the latest such incident alleged by insiders over the years, a series of tirades and tantrums going back to the 1970's in which she's reportedly berated everyone from campaign colleagues to Secret Service bodyguards, often using profanity and even ethnic slurs. One Arkansas State trooper bodyguard has even claimed Hillary once tried to kick him when he didn't respond quickly enough to one of her orders. An aide to her husband's losing 1974 congressional campaign revealed two years ago that she blew up as the loss became clear, screaming that he was a "f - - king Jew bastard." Minutes before her husband's 1993 inauguration as president, the Clintons had a profanity-laced shouting match over whether she should occupy the office reserved for Vice President-elect Al Gore, witnesses say. newsmax.com
